and  the  "RUB  OUT"  ends  the  programming  and  changes  the  display  back  to  your  original  page.
The "CR CR LF" sequence at the beginning and end of the text is optional – it will help assure that
the other station's RTTY equipment prints your ID on a separate line.

Next, transmit the HERE IS #1 message with the "CTRL-R":"1" key sequence. A reverse video "1"
is shown in the transmit buffer area; when transmitting is enabled (with SEND switch or with AU-
TO - CTRL-A or CTRL-X as explained in the previous section), the text of HERE IS #1 message is
placed on the blank line of the screen above the status letters and then transmitted. If the "call" to
the HERE IS message were included in other keyboard typed text, the reverse video number will
be entered at the appropriate place and be transmitted only after proceeding text has been trans-
mitted.  For  example,  suspend  transmission  temporarily  and  type  three  or  four  words,  then  "call"
the message (with CTRL-R:1), and type several more words. Now, enable transmission and watch
how the HERE IS message is expanded and transmitted when its turn comes.

The same procedure works for programming and reading all 6 HERE IS messages. HERE IS #0 is
special in that a CW ID may be included within its program. An example of a HERE IS #0 program
is:

Type:

"CTRL-W":"0"

See:

Page 3 of display

Type and see: "CR CR LF  DE JOHN, WQ9XYZ CR CR LF * DE WQ9XYZ *  CR CR LF

(* in reverse video)

Type:

"RUB OUT"

See:

Original display page.

This example will send both an ID in RTTY and then switch to CW at the reverse video star (*),
send  the  "DE  WQ9XYZ"  in  CW,  and  switch  back  to  RTTY  for  the  final  "CR  CR  LF"  sequence.  The
CWID  A/CWID  B  front  panel  switch  makes  a  difference  here: in  CWID  B  position,  the  CW  ID  is
transmitted using mark-space AFSK; in CWID A position, the CW ID section is transmitted on the
CW key output line as well as the FSK data output line. Host RTTY operations where AFSK tones
are used on the microphone input jack should use the CWID B position; you may use CWID A for
CW  or  when  you  are  using  direct  FSK  of  a  transmitter  oscillator. Notice  that  the  phrase  "CW  ID
FOLLOWS"  was  NOT  included  in  the  above  example  -  it  isn't  necessary,  especially  if  the  CR/LF
commands  are  used  to  prevent  garble  overprint  on  the  other  station's  printer. Try  "calling"  this
HERE IS 0 message while transmitting text. Listen to the output tones and try both CWID A and
CWID B switch positions.

The switch between RTTY and CW AFSK can be made anytime in the typing of transmit text and
does not necessarily have to be included within the HERE IS 0 message. If you wish to insert a CW
AFSK section within a typed RTTY text, type a "CTRL-Z":"SHIFT-*"  command before and after the
CW section of text. The stars will be written into the transmit buffer and the CWR6850 will auto-
matically switch to AFSK CW when it encounters the starred section. Another command, "CTRL-I" 
will switch the transmitted output immediately from RTTY to CW for whatever text remains in the
transmit buffer. A second "CTRL-I" will switch back to RTTY. The switch is indicated by a reverse
video star ( * ) in the echoed text in the receive buffer.

The contents of all six HERE IS memories may be transferred to tape and be reloaded from tape,
thus saving them during times that the power to the CWR6850 is turned off. To save the HERE IS
messages, use the following procedure:
